Description

Written for readers with little knowledge of the subject, this classic study nevertheless makes its own intervention into key debates, arguing provocatively for a commitedly political and theoretical criticism as against merely textual or apolitical approaches. With a new afterword in this edition, Sexual/Textual Politics is a brilliantly accessible must-read for all those interested in feminist literary theory.

Author Biography

Reviews

'Neither a purely objective documentary nor a narrowly sectarian polemic... this book exemplifies feminist theory-making at its rigorous best.' - Women's Review
